Customer Question

My sisters and I have been informed by Coutot Roehrig that we are entitled to shares in the estate of a cousin to the 5th degree who passed away in France (we live in the U.S.). Coutot Roehrig wants us to sign a Procuration /Power of Attorney. Our concern is that while Coutot Roehrig is a reputable firm, their main concern will be to wrap this up quickly which may or may not be to our best interest. We are also interested in the personal property of our distant cousin (small items that represent an, until now, unknown branch of our family) which, if they exist, we might like to keep in the family. What are our options to retain family momentos and what should we expect in terms of inheritance taxes and/or other taxes and charges, and what is our liability for any outstanding debts?
